It's difficult to succinctly describe the nature or characteristics of the Fellowships. The words that spring to mind are often those that have been grossly devalued by the media so that they have become terms of derision. Sometimes they provoke aggressive responses.
Try the following words and see what your reaction is.
- Christian
A real Christian is one who is a Christian inwardly. That's an adaptation of something said by the apostle, Paul. The Fellowships encourage people to establish a personal relationship with Jesus so that they can know Him and have their lives changed such that their nature and behaviour echoes that of Jesus. - Fundamentalist.
Fundamentalist conjures up images of extremists and terrorists. The Fellowships are simply groups of Bible-believing Christians who expound sound doctrine and promote spiritual understanding. - Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The media has tainted use of the use of spiritual gifts as an example of excess. The Fellowships consider the operation of the gifts under the leadership of the Holy Spirit as fundamental to the life of the church. - Organisms
The network of Fellowships have been described as an Organism rather than an Organisation. They are - in the truest sense of the phrase a "Family of Churches". Think of relatives that you don't see for months or even years, and yet a family reunion occurs and it is as though the intervening months and years had not happened. - Jesus Christ
A name that the fellowships hold dearest in their hearts. A name that has been grossly devalued by the media; is used as a expletive, curse, swear word; that often provokes an aggressive response. Find out more if you are open minded by clicking here: Who is Jesus?
